If you've been hurt in an Atlanta car accident, then what occurs between the time of your crash and the settlement of your case may seem overwhelming and confusing. How will the amount of your settlement be decided and is there anything that you can do to influence the settlement?

Our Atlanta car accident lawyers want you to know some of the secrets of our successful clients who are able to recover damages for their accident injuries. We encourage you to read our FREE Book, Four Common Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Georgia Car or Truck Claim, to learn more about what to avoid doing after an Atlanta accident.

Additionally, we recommend that you:

Act Fast: In the hours and days following your accident, there are things that you can do to help your case. For example, if you are able to gather evidence at the accident scene, such as pictures, it may be beneficial to your case. Additionally, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis of your accident injuries and to begin treatment.

Watch What You Say: Be careful what you post on social media sites and what you say to insurance adjusters and to anyone who is not representing you in your lawsuit.

Be Careful About Whom You Trust: The only person looking out for your legal interests is the auto accident attorney in Atlanta whom you've hired to represent you. Insurance agents and police officers are not looking out for your best interests, and it is important to remember that when deciding whom to trust.
